What about you? What about us? Where are you on this? Where
are we on this? "This" being the elimination of the
wacko Muslim extremists. The gloves should be off and victory at
any cost should be the goal, because commensurately, defeat at
any cost is the "rationale" of the enemy army of
blatant hatefulness. It istime for neutron bombs,
it is time for Dresden II. It is of no consequence if any
of the "collateral classified" targets die. If we live
they must die. If we continue, they must discontinue. If we, we,
of the cause of liberty are to prevail, we must turn our backs
on our predictable consciousness of "equanimity" to
secure the perpetuation of absolute civilization. This is
the time to do whatever it takes to win-under any and all
circumstances.

The civilized world's true and axiomatic type of civilization
when juxtaposed against the false and mutated form of
"religious purity" of the Muslim extremists, cries out
against what has been proffered for world consumption from the
enemies of individual liberty. The fruit doesn't fall far from
their tree. All or any of one's senses prove the case. As soon
as one's next breath is the rate of determining right from wrong
pertaining to these terrorist acts. At long last, the light of
victory over evil must expunge the retrograde pretense of
"religious" justification for the cancerous terrorists
acts...and the time is NOW!

Motive is one of the most significant elements of
detective work as it pertains to solving a crime. Police
departments look at motive to supply the thread of logic in
determining the cause and effect in deciphering crimes. Similarly,
as we look at how the government uses the ol' carrot and stick
to "motivate" we the sheep, patterns emerge showing us
what motivates the politicians that operate the
government.

The same can be said for the governing systems
around the world as we take a look at what they are up to. In
London, England, for example, those who commute into the city
with their autos will be required to pay a tax of $7.00 per day
to do so in a few years. Ostensibly, the motive is said to keep
the amount of traffic down thereby reducing the severe
congestion that now exists. The transportation system is
projected to benefit from the planned collection from the toll
tax.

However, as most of us know, the motorist
behavior will not stay the same since the cost of $140 or so per
month is a significant deterrent to using one's car to get to
and from work. They will look for alternatives as a result and
the public transportation system is where they will probably go.
But it isn't up to the task to accommodate the extra use
that will come its way, so the government will then need
more and more money to upgraded it. However, the money won't be
there since less people will be paying the toll and that in turn
will cause the fare price to go up. On and on it goes.

This example is used to show how cause and
effect relate to taxes and the ripple effect they have in our
lives. It works the same way for the supposed "hidden"
cost of government regulation. Corporations move their manufacturing
jobs out of the U.S.A. when the cost of compliance with
regulation goes beyond their ability to pay for it and they
can't compete with the foreign corporations who are not subject
to such. The same can be said for the cost of litigation upon
the cost of doing business. Business simply leave. On a personal
level, do we continue to make our place of buying groceries the
most expensive and most difficult to drive to? We don't and our
behavior is logical- we make decisions that are to be expected.

Why is it then that we don't make the connection
between who we vote for and the cost of doing so? Make no
mistake about it, we make the bed we lie in as to what laws we
live under. As Milton
Friedman, in effect wrote, "There is no free
lunch", so it is when we vote-everything has a cost. The
delusions that Americans have with precisely where their
politicians are taking them are problematic of a larger concern
that somehow government is virtually never to be blamed for the
increasingly dysfunctional ethos of our society. The illiterate
and naive or those affected by the artificially created
discontent of the race hustlers, incrementally move our country
closer to the capitulation of individual liberty for the
supposed cause of security (government control) with each
passing election. History cries out against this course, but
America is too distracted with the "cost" of that free
lunch to make the connection and see the cause and effect. It
remains to be seen if enough eyes of the useful idiots can be
made to see and thereby change this foolish merry go round.

The previously mentioned problems of London can
happen here. A big reason so many people HAVE to drive into the
city and work is because they work to PAY for the overt (taxes)
and the covert (regulation, litigation, etc, etc) freedom
reducing costs that their government has placed upon them in the
name of security. As a result, their freedom to choose to work
or do something else with their lives has been taken away from
them. The next time you are stuck in traffic think about who put
you there.

Hello and welcome to the land of the free lunch
and home of the enslaved. Has it gotten so bad in America that
people can't reason their way out of a paper bag when it comes
to how our health care system has gradually become limited in
it's ability to provide adequate medical care to those needing
it? With brevity in mind, let us revisit the HMO structure
and note that our "people friendly" government created
and authored the rules under which it operates. Then with that
mistake in place and the fruits of it's bad structure
manifesting itself in more and more lives, suddenly we had the
"health care crisis" upon every leach-like
politician's lips and how more government-not less-government
was the answer. Well, slick Willie went too far too fast when he
held up the government health care card in one of his state of
the disunion speeches and that idea served to put the
republicans in charge of the house and senate in 1994.

The little bus tour that the then co-president
took promoting nationalized health care was detoured on the way
to it's destination. It never ran out of gas, in fact, it was
re-fueled in the race that Rick Lazio lost. The destination of
controlling the healing arts and thereby controlling our health
is just a couple bus stops down the road to serfdom. We have a
Senator Clinton now and she, Ted Kennedy and others are about to
make the productive class board the bus and sit in the back.
These ruling class elitists see those of us who value individual
liberty as a threat to their designs
of complete government control of all things. This process began
with the built in design flaws of the HMO regulations and is
about to take a huge leap frog jump forward vis a vis the money
draining law suits covertly encouraged by the grotesquely
mis-named "Patient's Bill of Rights" legislation. The
adage of how to have less of something is to make something more
expensive hits right between the eyes. Businesses will reduce or
drop coverage to their employee's altogether and the law suits
will come with a price tag we will all have to pay.

People are not static in their behaviors, they
change as circumstances warrant and so it is with the ruling
political class. The main reason that the power mongering left
stridently seeks out such legislative enactments is to ensure
that the campaign money they receive from the trial lawyers will
continue. Just put two and two together on this and it will
become quite clear why they REALLY want a so called patients bill of
rights. A more favorable environment for law suites enables the
politicians to receive more money so they can stay in power and
grow their control. Selling the idea to the useful idiots of
America is the only true obstacle in implementing it and that is
why they name these enormities with such titles. Think about it,
who will be against a patients bill of rights? The issue is
framed and presented as wonderful and any opposition to it is by
those who are against the patients rights. It is masterful propaganda
at its best. All critical assessment is muted because who is it
who dares be AGAINST the rights of the patient. Yes, real issues
exist that require legal remedy in malpractice and irresponsible
medical care should be answered for, but we will see an increase
in these problems if this legislation becomes law. Conversely,
if the voters discern that these laws are against their freedom
they will vote against the politicians and their scams.
Behaviors will then change for the better. Don't hold your
breath on this happening any time soon because there is just too
much apathy and the voters who could change this are asleep at
the wheel. Too many people still trust the government too much
to do what needs to be done to remove these fascist from public
office as evidenced by the incumbents success.

The leftist
in power really do believe in "trickle down", trickle
down dependency that is. They know the best and
fastest way of making the freedom we enjoy-and the
"problem" it presents to their designs on power a
thing of the past is to make all of us dependent upon the
government for our medical care. It makes one sick just thinking
about it.

If president George W. Bush is so stupid as the
liberal elite maintains, how is it that the state of Texas is
prepared for the energy needs of it's citizens as provided by
then governor George W. Bush and the state of California has an
energy shortage even though it is politically dominated by the
supposedly best and brightest "progressive political
leaders". Just think, California voted for Gore in the most
recent election, guess that they are in the dark in more ways
than one. Common sense just isn't as common as it once was.

5/25/01

When we look at the impact upon the Bush
legislative agenda and judicial appointees caused by the
defection by Sen. Jeffords from the Republican party we
naturally scratch our heads and sing, ...that's life, riding
high in April, shot down in May...I pick my self up and get back
in the race...this whole thing is both so crazy and yet so
familiar, so incredible while yet so predictable. Many men seek
to be kings and while seeking to be such, find themselves as king
makers or as in this case king breakers. So it is with this
Senator from Vermont-a man on a ideological crusade purposing to
keep something from happening instead of making something
happen. Truly an obstructionist extraordinaire. He is now a self
styled "independent". Just what is he independent of?
Is he representing independence of state? This is impossible for
the state is dependent upon the producer class for it's money
and economic strength. Is he representing independence of the
individual? Again, no, he can't be-he wants to grow the size and
scope of government so as to render the individual more
dependent upon the wealth transfer schemes of his ruling class.
His brand of governance is a dependent one. Dependent upon the
dependent inasmuch as without the dependent on government he has
no one to vote for him and others of his ilk. The time has come
to expose the ruthlessness of the left in American politics and
force the definition of "independence" into the open
for all to examine independently.

Based on who and what they vote for, one of the
basic laws of simple economics is lost on the majority of
Americans. This is the law of supply and demand-when a commodity
is scarce it costs more. Americans seem to think that they can
use as much gasoline as they wish and yet have their little
"green moments" and thrust out their chests full of
pride as they, through their votes, disallow the commensurate
and logical building of oil refineries that are needed to keep
the cost of energy affordable. It is strange that something so
simple can be so hard to apply in everyday life. It is no wonder
that the political ruling class can feel so comfortable while
picking the pockets of the useful idiots who are still gullible
enough to blame the oil companies. All too easy. All too
expensive. All too like the third world.

5/01/01

The Clinton legacy. It is showing up at the gas
pump in form of $2.00+ per gallon gas. He was reckless and disconnected
with America's energy needs during his eight years in office. In
fact, he proposed a BTU tax-imagine the pain our economy would
have suffered if that became law! The energy shortage and
astronomically high energy prices in the state of California are
a good indication of what would be the norm around the country
had Clinton secured his agenda. Clinton danced to the tune the
enviro-pressure groups played on their campaign dollar harps.
Instead of allowing more refineries to go on line so our gas
would remain plentiful, he once again put his interest above the
country's and blocked this from happening.

In a few weeks, Vice president Cheney will
announce the plans the Bush administration has to turn this
previously mis-managed energy policy around. It will bear
watching for much common sense will be spoken and a great deal
of expertise demonstrated by a man for whom America should be grateful
is our Vice-president. Just imagine Gore and Lieberman going
after big oil in order to camouflage their party's obedience to
big environment. Count our blessings that they lost!!!

America, what is it about the dependocrats that
makes you want to put them in positions of elected and appointed
power that speaks to allowing your freedom to be realized? Here
is their model: we need victims-so we will have victims. The
victims are needy, dependent and have come to be victims because
the republicans, big business or a passing cloud burst have made
them such. Therefore, we need multiple governmental programs
with the attendant administrative patronage/payback job creation
machinery to give the impression that we are "making things
right" in the face of all the combined prejudice and hate
the world has ever seen as visited upon us by those loathsome
machete wielding republicans and their minions in the
capitalistic, free market jungle that passes for our economic
"system". Phew, there, we said it and spared them the
trouble of their broken record best at what they would have the
American people swallow.

Recently,
the leach masters were at work with an extremely preliminary dog
and pony show of the politically liberal and presidentially
ambitious. The show's purpose was to raise the profile
of those who's needs are such as to regain the White House
and return America to the place of hoping in class envy and as
many other destructive devices of class division as possible.
Remember, this is what made this country excel over all others;
class envy and taking as much money from the wealthy as
politically possible. It is staggering to think that King George
III would blush over just how easily lead some in this country
have become and therefore allow their God given rights to be
robbed from them. Here is a cheery thought, imagine America in
5, 10 or 15 years and tell us what you see.

The episode with China will be useful for the
world community if it is able to recognize the ethos of the
Chinese pursuant to their quest for world domination. China
provided a wake up call for the benefit of those countries that
perhaps were a little irresolute in their defenses to see what
they are up against. In that light, we should be that much
sharper and prepared for more of the same from the Red Chinese.

4/10/01

As the days continue to add up in the ongoing
"disagreement" between America and China, it is
becoming clear that the resolve of President Bush to
remain objective in his quest to have the crew of the EP-3E
liberated will be tested. He certainly will be tempted to
"take the easy way out" and give the communists the
propaganda victory they are seeking by admitting that America is
guilty of causing the crash of their interceptor. But, if he
does this, it will only be the first step for the Chinese in
their quest to portray America as rouge imperialists. If China
can have this trophy, they will then continue to pressure the US
to "see it their way" on other issues that the
countries have major differences over. If we don't play by their
rules in negotiations yet to come, they will simply say,
"What can anyone expect from such a bully of a
country?" If this hoped for fabrication on the part of the
Chinese of getting America to admit sorrow and thereby, by extension,
pose a threat to the sovereignty of other nations in the world,
the despots in Red China will have elevated their perceived
standing in the world community as a reasonable and rational
country. Remember, perception is reality.

If this issue isn't resolved sooner than later,
then the perception domestically will be that president Bush is
an ineffectual leader with limited and poor leadership skills.
The anti-Bush media buzzards will begin to circle in greater and
greater numbers. The solution to this problem is to negotiate
behind the scenes while stoking the flames of nationalistic zeal
as America confronts the excesses of her common enemy, the Red
Chinese. History shows that if a shared, greater enemy is
presented to any group of people, priorities change and smaller squabbles
are forgotten in light of the common threat. United we
stand-divided we fall, isn't just an empty cliché.

4/6/01

"We apologize"? There, that makes it
all better, doesn't it? The framing of this issue is what
carries the day, not the issue in and of itself. If we are to
exclude context and allow the Chinese government to portray the
sad events surrounding the encounter between the American
EP-3E Aries II surveillance aircraft and the Chinese
interceptor aircraft as "America's fault" we would
have to ignore all that went before in this dynamic. In as much
as the collision took place over international waters with the
fulcrum issue of culpability resting on the provocatively
hazardous taunting by the cataloged and demonstrably
"hot doggish" Chinese pilot, why should any
American apologies be in order? We think that some dense
statecraft will eventually bring back the hostages, but for now,
America is best served by showing the world just what a rouge
nation China is. Espionage is the sport of all nations. What a
ridiculous proposition to demand an apology. Does Tianamen
square ring a bell? Ask those who perished as the road kill of Tianamen just who it is
that really
needs to apologize.

Global warming is a servile mechanism of fear.
It is based upon a priori reasoning and is prolepsis for man
only being a part of nature and not the principal of nature here
on earth. Remember; fear equals research funds, therefore we
will have fear! If the one world globalist were consistent in
ideology, evolution would dictate man as unchallenged controller
of the world he lives in and not to be controlled by the
flora and fauna he dominates. Global warming was created by the
left to retard the individual from realizing his God given right
of freedom. Their plan calls for America to slow up and scale
down and have a diminished quality of life in a more heavily
regulated and governmentally "patrolled" way of life.
The nations around the world look to the Kyoto treaty to make
things more "fair" because America is just too big for
it's own environmental britches and needs to come down to their
sorry economic pace, so they imply. This is wrong-we have
national sovereignty. We make it happen for good in the world
and should not be so foolish as a people to succumb to the siren
sound of chicken little-even if he wears a white lab coat and
has a PhD. Our hope in keeping this psuedo-science from hurting
our personal and economic freedom is that BOTH sides of the
issue are looked at in light of their legitimacy. George
W. Bush acted in wisdom to reject the premise, terms and
conditions of Kyoto. The nations of the world object and do so
for their agenda's sake. Way to go Dubya!

3/27/01

The Clinton's are not gone, they are only in
remission in the body politic. How do we know this? Well,
according to the preeminent authority on clock settings,
Hillary-Rodham-Do-as- I-want- you- to- do-Clinton, George W.
Bush is trying to "not only turn back the clock on the past
eight years", but turn the clock on the welfare state as
implemented by FDR. FDR enslaved the country with his new
deal-it was good for the down trodden then, but was really
good for the new slave master ruling class. She has some clock turning in her plans too, like to turn the
clock back to the days the crown ruled over the colonies. Poor
woman, Queen Hillary was born too late.

3/19/01

Tax cuts enable economic growth. Tax cuts serve
to stimulate the economy. The history of this cause and effect
can be traced centuries before our time. No one country, group
of people, state or municipality is peculiar to this operation.
Most recently, with the effectively convincing presentation of
tape recordings of JFK's appeal to this truth about tax cuts,
predictably, the self serving, cut throat elitist ruling class
has counterpunched with an array of fear mongering distortions
that are the envy of chicken little. They even have gone as far
as to say that such disrespects JFK. They say that using his
speech on tax cuts somehow violates the privacy of the man and
his family. If they were honest and not ordered in their
priority to usurp freedom from the producer class, their
reaction to the use of these tapes would be to delight in airing
them. It really should be a point of pride denoting a wise man's
enduring economic legacy and good stewardship as president and
not an awkward and desperate attempt to conceal JFK as a supply
sider. Ted Kennedy voted for his brothers tax cuts and now he
will vote against George W. Bush and his tax cut plan. The
reason is not what is good for America, the reason is what is
good for Ted Kennedy.

Did you wake up today able to see the world
around you? Did you wake up today able to hear the world around
you? Did you wake up today able to hug someone you love? Was
there food for you and your family to eat? Water to drink? How
is your health? Thank God for all blessings big and small for
all good is of God. We might not apprehend, comprehend or
satisfactorily grasp and understand all that goes on in this
short and crazy life but we can know, by faith, that our
lives and natural rights are given to us by the Creator. Would
that all of mankind were enabled in the inner man to embrace
this humbling yet liberating truth and live life for the gift it
is.

Yesterday we provided a link for the news story
from Washington, DC that detailed how members of congress had
supposed money problems. Their professed difficulty arises, they
say, from owning two houses, as most in congress do; one
is their residence in their home district and the other their
residence in Washington. They assert that this situation
necessitates additional money. We disagree. Alternatives exist
to alleviate this situation. Our solution is to cause congress
to remove or reduce the regulatory costs that are a major factor
in driving up the cost of housing. The reason that they won't is
that they have regulated this market and pull the strings of
patronage. They don't want to relinquish control of it and
thereby become less able to control the freedom of others. It is so typical that when
the artificial burdens placed into the marketplace by
governmental meddling come home to roost on those that imposed
them to begin with that they find a way to exempt themselves. It
is appalling yet so revealing that they would ask for tax free
money as a per diem expense to offset their problem with the
cost of housing. Why is this tax free? Well look no farther than
the tax brackets they also set up for those they rule over-they
want to exempt themselves from that also. That said, how
ridiculous is the observation that Bush's tax cut plan is only
for the wealthy. There are those who believe this propaganda.
The brain dead say amen and the useful idiots strike once
again.

3/15/01

The story in this
link is more proof that "we the people" and
"we the governed" are not the same. The phrase
"public servant" is a blasphemous lie.

TIME. This is the finite commodity most
Americans trade with their employer for monetarily compensation.
It is what the self employed use up to find their economic
security as well. TIME. It is what constitutes our life span.
Our days are spent to pay the rent, so to speak. The picture we
want to set forth here is that once the day is gone it is gone.
It will never be coming back. On a percentage basis, as we can
see, we spend part of our precious, nonrenewable resource
of limited time, to feed and support an indefensibly
ravenous spend thrift government. Why is it then that most
Americans don't seem to care that they are throwing a greater
and greater part of their lives away to keep that which consumes
their very lives growing stronger and stronger. Is it that hard
to see that what they are allowing is their own enslavement? As
evidenced by their objection to those initiatives that would
provide greater freedom for the individual at the expense of the
state, i.e. the privatization of social security, medical
savings accounts, the elimination of capital gains taxes,
private school vouchers, etc, the elite ruling class in
Washington reveals itself as manifestly disrespectful of the
very life we have to live.

3/13/01

GREED. One word says it all. The word describes
the Potomac ruling class. That is the Washington mentality and
it's corresponding fixation upon the money that America's
productive working class generates. Yesterday we wrote about the
"me first attitude" resident in the quasi-ideological
youth. This attitude also is at work in the resistance shown and
dogged determination demonstrated by the leech-like ruling class
elite to keep as much of our money in Washington and ipso facto
out of our hands as politically possible. They will have you to
believe that they are for "responsible" tax cuts, yet
if the numbers are added up, the amount they are talking about
is so small as to be insignificant. George W's tax cut is small
and back loaded in design and they label it as "too
large". Well, the question must be asked; Too large for
who? It is NOT their money-it is ours and WE will decide where,
when, and how that money will be spent if it is returned to us
in a tax cut. That my friends is too much for them to take. This
is the definition of "too large" in their twisted
vocabulary. Please call your representatives in Washington and
"clue them in" to what "too large" means to
you.

3/12/01

Ahh youth. We had the occasion to see the world
view of the young and dumb in action recently. Save the whale,
save the environment, blah, blah, blah, but just try and get one
of the "think globally and act locally" savants to let
you out of the parking lot and see what happens. Also, it was
overheard in an "earth friendly" food store that they
were not happy to receive goods from xyz trucking company
because they "charge too much". What about the
government regulations the political candidates they support and
elect enact into law? You would think that these wunderkind
would be capable of reasoning out that a big part of that cost
originated with their world view when it is applied and goes
from theory to practice. Ideology is free as long as it has no
consequence for them. When they see the effects of it however,
suddenly it's me first. It is revealing about their "me
first attitude" shown by these examples from the real
world. Their lofty and sanctimonious world view ideology soon
ebbs away from them when the real world kicks in. We can't wait
for the 80% indentured servitude tax bill they will pay over
their lifetimes to hit them between their eyes. It is fun to
watch when "save the world" becomes "save your
-ss".

Life is a busy thing. Life has it's own
deadlines that occasionally supercede any we might think
important. It is always good to remember that we take the steps
but it is God who places the road before us when we walk. Since
the last entry of 3/1/01 another high school shooting has
occurred and while the gunman acted alone this time, he shared
the same disregard for his victim's humanity thereby
"allowing" him to kill two and injure several others.
When Columbine had it's dark day, we wrote a piece on the pathos
of the culture of death that surrounds these actions. It is
worth a second look for such is our society today.

American School shootings and values neutral
education-
the connection to and conflict with essential liberty

This is one of the most difficult topics on which to
write an essay.
The grief and anguish for the slain is very hard to
contemplate. It will never leave those families who were
savaged by those attacks. The parents will never see
their children again. On the morning of the shootings,
unknowingly, the parents saw their children for the last
time. Can you imagine that empty feeling? Pray and ask
God to comfort them during this time of suffering and
great loss.

Some questions that arise out of these disasters have no
answers. We will not pretend that we have all the
answers to this or any other tragedy. Evil exists. Good
exists. Sometimes, evil prevails.

When we analyze these events, some questions we think of
are, "What caused this?, and "What can we do
to prevent this from happening again?" These
questions DO have answers. The reason this piece is
written is to explore these answers. The phrase that,
"Those who don't learn from history, repeat
it" is quite true. Quotations are included from the
founding fathers of American government in the course of
this essay to show that humanity has been here before.
The creators of the American constitution were people
who met the barbarians and realized that they are us,
and therefore framed the constitution and bill of rights
around that painful reality in an attempt to check our
sad propensity for self destruction.

In questions of power, then, let no more be said of
confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by
the chains of the Constitution. --Thomas Jefferson

In our political world today, generally speaking, two
types of governments exist. With varying degrees of
application, governments seek to keep societal order and
control. Totalitarian governments control their citizens
thoughts, words and deeds by externally forcing their
people to obey the code of law. In order to bring this
about, many personal freedoms don't exist. The
government controls the media and speech of the people
to such an extent so as to keep all activities working
for the good of the state. The state sees religious
activities as a threat to it's primacy and atheism is
primarily taught. Individual liberty is a threat to the
unified good of the state. Dissent is a crime and
carries a harsh penalty.

No government is respectable which is not just. Without
unspotted purity of public faith, without sacred public
principle, fidelity, and honor, no machinery of laws,
can give dignity to political society. --Daniel Webster

In democracies and constitutional republics, such as in
America, the primary method of societal control resides
within the people themselves as they exercise INTERNAL
control. This mechanism of order is predicated upon a
moral consensus shared by the society at large. One's
respect for their family name or the great spiritual
truths derived from religious traditions informs their
inner self as to what is just and lawful. The guidelines
are written on their heart and minds to the extent that
external laws are not generally violated. The external
laws exist to formally detail the law that operates
within the internally controlled individuals. This
respect for rule of law is primarily enforced from the
inside out. It might be added that some unjust external
laws exist, however, most laws are enablers of liberty
and not it's inhibitor.

John Adams said, "We have no government armed with
power capable of contending with human passions
unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was
made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate for the government of any other. Oct. 11,
1798, Address to the military

"Society in every state is a blessing, but
government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary
evil; in its worst state an intolerable one."
--Thomas Paine, Common Sense; 1776

Being willfully ignorant of that vital element for a
free society, deliberately, over the last thirty years,
our government, through the public schools, has sought
to exclude the great religious teachings that have
fostered the mechanism of INTERNAL control. Prayer was
eliminated from public schools and evolutionary teaching
took it's place. Students who were once were taught that
they were created in the image of God are now being
taught they were nothing more than an end result of
random chance mutations. God is degradingly
portrayed as a crutch and man is the rule maker is now
the teaching. Furthermore, the teachings of the home
were ridiculed as being backward and restrictive upon
"freedom". The creed of the schools became
"If it feels good-do it". If evolution is
true, they reasoned, why not? This is the ethos of the
supposed "values neutral education" and it
threatens to permeate every aspect of our culture.

God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the
liberties of a nation be thought secure if we have
removed their only firm basis: a conviction in the minds
of men that these liberties are the gift of God? That
they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed,
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is
just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.
--Thomas Jefferson

In time, as these students became young adults, their
college professors built upon these teachings. Then when
these college graduates entered the work force they
brought this world view with them into their
professions. They now occupy political office. They are
the "credentialed" experts who promulgate the
public school ciricula. They are judges and attorneys.
Some are school teachers who now teach these things to
subsequent generations; the morally blind now lead the
morally blind.

Thomas Jefferson wrote,
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a
state of civilization, it expects what never was and
never will be."

What are some of the fruits of all this? Convenience
killing for one. Abortion is called freedom of choice.
We see that without God anything is possible. Without
the INTERNALLY applied moral restraint humans are able
to rationalize any behavior. External laws don't avail.
The high school shootings are a symptom of the moral
void created by failing to educate the "whole
person". External laws are interpreted as
encumbrances to "freedom". These laws are
"someone else's morality". If it "is my
body, my choice" in one area of life, why can't it
be the same in other areas of life as well? At least
their logic is sound.

Good government generally begins in the family, and if
the moral character of a people once degenerate, their
political
character must soon follow. --Elias Boudinot, president
of the Continental Congress

So what happens to our society? Well you can bet the
political harlots will seize upon the visual shock
therapy provided by the shootings to make themselves
"relevant" and enact new laws that will
diminish the freedom of the law abiding. Dozens of laws
were in place that made what was done in these shootings
illegal, yet they happened anyway. Why are people so
mis-guided as to think that more laws will change this?
It will only change when the internal laws are allowed
to function within us as they must. As pointed out
earlier, societal control must happen, it is just a
question of how.

Those people who will not be governed by God will be
ruled by tyrants. -William Penn

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must,
like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. --Thomas
Paine

The present government will play both sides against each
other with these type of tragedies with the end result
being more citizens loosing their God given freedoms as
the state passes more and more laws. Freedom and
"rights" originate with nature's God and not
with man. Man by his government systems can either
impede or promote "rights". The only way that
(exclusively) external laws work effectively is when
personal freedom is lost. The enforcement of this system
requires a police state. We are heading in that
direction unless the lawful move against this process in
a systemic manner. The present government is fearful of
our capacity for self protection. They will seek to use
these tragedies as a pretence to emasculate and disarm
this country. Do we dare trust them?

No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The
strongest reason for the people to retain their right to
keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect
themselves against tyranny in government. --Thomas
Jefferson

"The basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the
teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from
Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that
enough these days. If we don't have a proper fundamental
moral background, we will finally end up with a
government which does not believe in rights for anybody
except the State!"
Harry S. Truman, Thirty-Third President

The solution to these shooting and other on going
tragedies is to return to and apply the necessary moral
teachings that brought this nation about and gave it
animation. The ACLU will cry foul, however, but James
Madison wrote,

We have staked the future of all of our political
institutions upon the capacity of mankind for
self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us
to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.
--James Madison, chief architect of the Constitution

These fundamentals of our nation's heritage are NOT
being taught in the public schools and this is not by
accident. The goal of unregenerate man is to control.
Freedom is a fragile thing and it cannot be
domesticated. Values neutral or values clarification in
education is dangerous. The fetish to avoid classifying
behavioral choices as right or wrong is one of the
greatest disservices a government can bring about to
it's citizens. The really scary part is the government
KNOWS that our liberty is going to gradually be
diminished and this is part of the formula to bring it
about. We the people, I am afraid, have forgotten the
price of freedom. However, we are finding out the cost
of having done so.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of
the freedom of the people by gradual and silent
encroachments of those in power than by violent and
sudden usurpations. --James Madison

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety.
--Benjamin Franklin

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As
nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need
of masters.
--Benjamin Franklin

We have clear choices before us this day. We can
continue down the path of least moral resistance with
all it's glossary of obfuscation and grotesque deceit.
We can be emotionally coerced into bowing to the kings
contrivance in order to see ourselves as "open
minded" and "tolerant" as we embrace
varying forms of deviancy and normalize this now proven
retrograde proscription. We can live in denial about
this for only so long, however. These events will become
more common and will undoubtedly become worse. In many
respects, what these school shootings represent is the
beginning of the end of freedom as we have known it.

We can also begin the process of reversing the
deterioration we see before us everyday. The advantages
are profound. The solution is simple. We the people, the
ones who know better, despite being characterized as
unsophisticated and elementary, must move to vote away
those with these world views. We must remove from our
school boards these destructive teachings and their
adherents. These shootings and other moral enormities
are the result of their approach. This is what they have
brought us. The wisdom of the people who began this
constitutional republic and codified the natural rights
of man within the constitution and bill of rights have
to be taught to every child. Our heritage and our
humanity will be stolen if we fail to decisively act.
This time, without pretence, we must "do it for the
children".

Let us not fall in line with the rest of history, whose
fate was described by Alexander Hamilton when he
wrote..."But if experience, in this instance,
verifies the lesson long taught by the enemies of
liberty, that the bulk of mankind are not fit to govern
themselves; that they must have a master, and were only
made for the rein and the spur; we shall see the final
triumph of despotism over liberty; the advocates of the
latter must acknowledge it to be an ignis fatuus, and
abandon the persuit. With the greatest advantages for
promoting it that a people ever had, we shall have
betrayed the cause of human nature.---A letter from
Hamilton to the citizens of New York containing remarks
on Mentor's reply, 1784

The media has revealed itself once again as
profoundly prejudicial against George W. Bush. We were subjected
to their post speech "analysis" that rendered George
W's efforts as "surprising", "well done",
etc, etc. It is good for Bush and his agenda that they see him
as slow and dim. He is anything but and that is allowing him to
move around them and their useful, in this case, bias. Please
check out the link for the Bush
tax plan and see what it means to you.

2/27/01

With uncontrived words representing the honest
thoughts behind them, President Bush focused America's attention
on his budget's architecture and it's goals during his address
to the collective federal legislature on Tuesday. The president
provided a stark contrast to his predecessor by, among other
things, respecting the value of America's working class. This
respect was evidenced by his strong advocacy of reducing the
current retrograde and punitive tax structure. President Bush
repeatedly used examples of how and where America's government
takes, without regard to consequence, the freedom from the
working people it obviously takes for granted.

In an excerpt from his speech tonight, Mr.
Bush shows how the greed of our federal government, with it's
excessive taxation, reduces the quality of life for an average
family, "With us tonight, representing many American
families, are Steven and Josefina Ramos. Please help me welcome
them. The Ramoses are from Pennsylvania, but they could be from
any one of your districts. Steven is a network administrator for
a school district, Josefina is a Spanish teacher at a charter
school, and they have a 2-year-old daughter, Lianna. Steven and
Josefina tell me they pay almost $8,000 a year in Federal income
taxes; my plan will save them more than $2,000. Let me tell you
what Steven says: "Two thousand dollars a year means a lot
to my family. If we had this money, it would help us reach our
goal of paying off our personal debt in two years." After
that, Steven and Josefina want to start saving for Lianna's
college education. Government should never stand in the way of
families achieving their dreams. The surplus is not the
government's money, the surplus is the people's money."
This is the way President Bush thinks.Respect for
and awareness of what makes America work is essential for our
continuance as free people. Those that oppose individual liberty
and God given freedom are feeling uneasy as a result of what was
outlined in this speech. The battle over the "people's
surplus" has only started, in time the awkward position
(it's our money stupid) taken by the left will loose
currency as they, more and more, stand in the way of
individualism. Remember, the war for tax propriety is never
over, the battles on the other hand, especially this one,
require a true sense of direction and uncompromised
commitment to the rights of the individual, ahead of the wants
of an insatiable self-serving government. For a full transcript
of Pres. Bush's speech visit this site http://www.cspan.org/executive/stateofunion/sou01_trans.asp
and read it several times to see clearly the honest nature of
the words used therein. In contrast, just try and imagine what
insidious words we would have heard instead if the reprehensible
gargoyle Al Gore and his corrosive hatred of individual liberty
was president. America, count your blessings.

President Bush will present his budget to the
legislative branch of government this week. The objections to
this budget will be false, full of pretzel logic, full of the
politics of class warfare and more overdone than a burnt steak.
The money that President Bush, in this budget, seeks to return
to we the governed, is smaller in proportion to the economically
beneficial tax relief that went before it when Presidents
Kennedy and Reagan cut taxes. The
Bush plan reduces federal income taxes for everyone across
all income levels, replacing the current five bracket structure
with a four bracket structure: 10%, 15%, 25% and 33%. The Joint
Committee on Taxation states that president Bush's plan
increases the progressivity of the tax code that gives low and
middle income earners larger percentage breaks than the
taxpayers in the upper income brackets. With the plan, some of
the lower bracket tax payers will no longer be subject to ANY
federal income taxes, demonstrating that this plan does not
"favor" the "wealthy" at the expense of the
"poor". On a percentage basis, the lower bracket tax
payers benefit in a greater degree than do the high bracket tax
payers, since going from 15% to 10% equals a 33% reduction and
going from 39.6% to 33% equals a 17% reduction.

The objectors to his plan will also seek to spin
the facts concerning budget deficits. We will be told that tax
cuts cause deficits. When Kennedy and Reagan's tax cuts were put
on the books by the legislature, revenues went up significantly.
The cause of the deficits was uncontrolled SPENDING that went
far beyond the budgetary outlays for the military that we hear
is the cause for the 1980's deficits. President Reagan submitted
balanced budgets but he had to deal with the over spending that
congress engaged in. This mindset still is operative today and
we must contain it by securing a tax cut. Please refer to the Congressional
budget office web site for information used in this space
that was derived from their research data. Other information

This is black history month. We share Dr. Martin
Luther King's idea that people must be assessed by their
character and NOT the color of their skin. In today's
"inclusive" America, Black conservatives walk into a
very strong head wind of disrespect and vilification. We want as
many people to know they exist and represent THE ONLY way out of
the cycle of self-destruction that is sold as compassion by some
of our cold hearted politicians. Yes, they exist,
notwithstanding the media's efforts to hide or ignore them.
Please visit these BLACK CONSERVATIVE SITES and see courage in
action.

One
of the best ways to discern the intellectual honesty and depth
of reasoning of individuals is to ask them if moral absolutes
exist. If they say no, logic refutes their position since
according to their answer, absolutely absolutes don't exist.
This may sound juvenile, but it is insightful and will provide a
great starting point for some deductive reasoning as the issues
of the day are discussed and viewpoints set forth. The goal of
generating more light than heat on the events of our turbulent
times is better achieved when we compare and contrast
"where we are coming from" while keying off of this
first truth. Discernment is good, empirical rationalism is
better.

The calendar may say February but we can't help thinking
about springtime and summer because it is just around the
corner. Along with the warmer weather will come the increased
use of air conditioners and the energy demand they create. We
can just imagine the difficulties in managing this situation out
in already power strapped California when even more serious
energy related problems will arise. The greater demand for power
will cause the probable scheduling of blackouts to force people
to not use power.

California's neighboring states are already stretched to
their capacity (no extra power to sell to California) for
producing power and the addition of new plants in California is
at least a year and a half away. This is a strong recipe for
civil unrest. The green weenies have sold the "earth first
agenda" to enough of California's politicians so that the
legislation they produce to correct the "scars on the
land" systematically over-regulates the economy of
California into a competitive disadvantage; potentially,
businesses may soon be forced to leave the golden state. The
useful idiots who favor these legislative balls and chains
should look real close at just what they are really supporting
and not what feels green and cozy (couldn't say warm there-too
costly!). It remains to be seen if the, as briefly explained
above, real cause and effect of all this is shown, understood
and believed by enough voters to remove the politically power
hungry and their retrograde Ludite ways from office. We will
offer more on this when we enter into the warmer months.

2/19/01

With infinite creativity and shameless self
promotional abandon, Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP's board
of directors, and President Kweisi Mfume criticized George W.
Bush during the civil rights organization's annual meeting held
last week, saying he has talked a good game but done little
else. "They selected nominees from the Taliban wing of
American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the
extreme right wing and chose Cabinet officials whose devotion to
the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical
affection."

Bond's remarks were not made to heal our nation.
Since the beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms, and we
all "know" that whatever Mr. Bond has to say is true,
and he serves no self aggrandizing, self serving, financially
motivated agenda. Additionally, we "know" that
anything he does never has as it's design to keep wounds alive
between blacks and whites and basically as a result, keep people
hating one another, let us provide the definitions of the
"pure" rebuke he leveled at George W.

The "Taliban wing remark" is
religiously intolerant to some members of the Islamic community,
Afghanistan's ruling Taliban needs to organize and call for Mr.
Bond's termination. The "wretched appetites of the extreme
right wing" remark is callously insensitive to those of the
political spectrum who seek to enhance the freedom of the
individual and minimize the power of a centralized nanny state
government that thrives on the back of wage/tax slaves. The
Bush cabinet (for the record) is an ethnic blend of members
composed from black, Hispanic and Asian derivation. His
cabinet isn't all male and all white, several women hold office
as well.

What Mfume and Bond are all about, as we can see
from our observations, is scaring their supporters into giving
more money to the NAACP and keeping them feeling
disenfranchised. If less acrimony existed between the races in
America, and free market solutions were allowed to elevate the
people, (especially) Black people, then Mr. Bond, Mr. Mfume and
their ilk would have to find meaningful employment elsewhere. So
what would you do, if you were in their shoes and you saw that
in time your gravy train of hate was being threatened? They have
to villanize that which will bring their soft jobs to an end.
This whole display for the NAACP was just for that purpose. What
Bond, et al, are doing is forestalling the inevitable demise of
divide and conquer groups such as the one they belong to and
rule in. "Can't we all just get along?" The
confederacy was defeated but Mfume and Bond need it to stay
around for it's fund raising magic. They want to allow prejudice
to triumph over reason under the guise of their own particular
brand of sublime bigotry.

Let us look to the dictionary today for the
formal definition of hypocrisy before we proceed with our
editorial for the day. It will be useful.

The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or
virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.

An act or instance of such falseness.

[Middle English ipocrisie, from Old French from Late Latin hypocrisis, play-acting, pretense, from
Greek hupokrisis, from hupokrinesthai, to
play a part, pretend: hupo-, hypo- + krinesthai,
to explain (from krinein, to decide,
judge); see krei- in Indo-European Roots.]

hypocrisy \Hy*poc"ri*sy\
(h[i^]*p[o^]k"r[i^]*s[y^]), n.; pl. Hypocrisies
(-s[i^]z). [OE. hypocrisie, ypocrisie, OF. hypocrisie,
ypocrisie, F. hypocrisie, L. hypocrisis, fr. Gr.
"ypo`krisis the playing a part on the
stage, simulation, outward show, fr.
"ypokr`nesqai to answer on the stage, to play a part;
"ypo` under + kri`nein to decide; in the middle voice, to
dispute, contend. See Hypo-,
and Critic.]
The act or practice of a hypocrite; a feigning to be what one is
not, or to feel what one does not feel; a dissimulation, or a
concealment of one's real character, disposition, or motives;
especially, the assuming of false appearance of virtue or
religion; a simulation of goodness.

We looked hard, without avail, in this
definition for mention of those from the religion of the
democratic party. Yet, alas, we see them everywhere, especially
as highlighted above, in the political stage, with the greatest
example in their leader in exile, William Clinton. How can the
nation's first black president (as Mr. Clinton claims to be)
knowingly play golf at a white only golf course and then go to
Harlem to posture and continue the lie that he is their great
white hope, without providing us with a fantastic expression of
hypocrisy? That is just it, he can't. Despite the much ado about
the conventional media's "conversion" to honestly
dealing the antics of Mr. Clinton, where is the logical
accountability they should enforce pertaining to his continued
hypocrisy? It is glaringly absent. Perhaps there is honor among
thieves after all.

Today we offer a real treat. Justice Clarence
Thomas spoke at The Francis Boyer
Lecture of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy
Research. We want all to learn from this great man of our
time so without further ado here is the link that holds his

Tax cuts? You mean giving the excess taxes we
have collected back to the underlings that produced them (only
by our enabling, of course). Simply preposterous, we might as
well allow them to think that they could spend it better than we
could. Why the very thought is so unseemly. After all, we print
the money and give it it's representative value and decide who
we will allow to do what with it. What an impertinent and
irreverent thought, tax cuts! When that amiable dunce of a
president Reagan was here, he had the nerve to seek an even
larger tax cut and look what happened, the deficits went
stratospheric and the national debt was made into a monster. We
didn't have anything to do with that as some of the unwashed
have suggested-we spent the money better and were more caring as
we made millions dependent on our warm and fuzzy programs. We
more than outspent the
doubling of the revenue that those ridiculous tax cuts created.
It is unfathomable that those barbarians from outside of our
perfect Washington world would seek to let one penny outside of
our "government knows best" spending machine's
control. Even the
fair and unbiased press knows that after we mismanaged all
that windfall from those Reagan
tax cuts that we will find a way to make it all better this
time as we suddenly morph into fiscal boy scouts and help that
little old lady debt across the street. You can trust us, just
try to ignore what human nature, history and that pesky
P.J. O'Rourke have said about "giving politicians money
is just like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys".
Hey where is Joe Isuzu when you need him?

2/13/01

It wasn't that long ago that vice presidential
candidate Joe Lieberman tried to convince us that the U.S.
military would be in good stewardship under his and Al Gore's
oversight. The thought of it getting any worse than it had been
under Clinton-Gore is difficult to imagine so I guess we can see
how he could deliver on that promise-when something is down so
low the only direction would be up. Whiney Joe was real good to
the military when he and Al Gore tried to keep their votes
out of the Bush column during the Florida fiasco, therefore,
with that track record in mind, we can't dare allow ourselves
any suspicion (ha-ha) that his criticism of George W's tax cut
proposal is less than sincere and that Ol Joe only has the
military's needs weighing heavy on his magnanimous heart when he
"non-partisanly" urged Bush in a letter to
"reconsider a tax cut that may result in a military less
capable of overcoming the new and dangerous threats they may
face in the coming years." Joe is a caring soul but what he
cares about is finding or manufacturing ANY reason not to let
Americans keep more of their hard earned pay. What a turn
around, when is the last time you ever heard of a liberal
democrat worrying that the military isn't getting enough money.
We know that Lieberman found his previous positions on the
issues, shall we say "cumbersome", during his vice
presidential run and he effortlessly dropped them like a
hot potato, so we know he doesn't have any ulterior motives and
is a real straight shooter when it comes to this criticism of
Bush. Sure. Something else to consider, George W. Bush wants a
comprehensive review of the Pentagon. This would include the
Navy's shipyard in Groton, Connecticut. Last time we checked,
Lieberman is one of their senators and boy would the natives get
restless if Bush decided to trim some of holy Joe's war
bucks. But this might be unfair of us to reason this way since
we know Joe is a man of faith and is a humble servant of the
people. He does serve the almighty-the almighty dollar.

2/12/01

Kind of crazy, isn't it? I mean to think that
the ex-presidents of the United States of America have been
caught red (the commie color-how ironic) handed making off with
various items donated to the White House-not their White House
but THE White House. We
have to make this distinction in this big I and little u (you)
ex-administration. The rational among us, who had no
trouble seeing through their duplicity, both before and during
their time in office, while all the time marveling, albeit in a
mode similar to the emotions one experiences while reading a
classic Greek tragedy, are enjoying the uncomfortable questions
this type of questionable behavior is raising amongst the
heretofore complicitously collusionary main stream press. We
welcome conversions in the main stream press regarding the
Clinton's ethical viscosity as evidenced by this classless petty
theft in the closing days of their maladministration. The MO
they employ is still the same; a proxy of how all things were
done, obfuscate, lie, spin and disassemble as the goods are made
off with. Just as they strip-mined the people's most precious
property, i.e. our collective public trust, so too, in an
emblematic way they took with them all that they
"legally" were allowed. Ah, indeed, the five finger
discount co-presidency.

Tom Daschel is a man on a mission. He wants
everybody in America to be equal. Equally miserable that is. His
politically useful, class envy is shameless. According to him,
If a "rich" (I'll have to wash my hands now after
typing the word) person has a cut in their taxes, then they
might have enough money (their own) as a result to afford a new
Lexus and that is objectionable to him. You see, all Americans
should have all things equal (exept himself and the rest of his
ruling class) because he says so. That's it, that's right,
because he says so. According to him, the American dream of
living for a better day is a bad idea, greedy you might even
say, so we should all (exept him) find contentment in what the
government deems fair and even. I know that the factory worker
and the whole supply chain that works to put a Lexus on the
showroom floor isn't comprised of "the rich". These
people need wealthy people to buy their cars or they don't have
jobs. And his notion that somehow the world is a better place if
we can keep people in used cars with new mufflers escapes me.
Want to be fair? I want his pension and his salary. If not, why
not?

2/09/01

It's funny how the folks over at NEWSWEEK have
to run and hide from the obvious and measurable ratings success
at FOX NEWS, (see
Washington post article) America's new ratings champ
for cable news programming. They couldn't bring themselves to
put Bill "No spin zone" O'Reilly on the cover of their
magazine. The truth this tells about the rejection of liberal
news sources by more and more Americans and the awkward
avoidance of 'fessing up to it by the rest of the media, shows
us again-as if we needed any more proof-of just how objective
they really are.

2/08/01

Isn't it great how the commie-lib's in the
collectivist Dependocrat party can't find a way of getting under
George W's skin and thereby begin the process of de-railing him
from his agenda? When he doesn't reply to their juvenile name
calling he makes them look all the more juvenile. Way to go
Dubya! The Democrat's goal of taxing away the American
dream under the pretense of fairness is a harder sell with each
passing day...
